Title:
caribou (gnome-shell osk): special characters not working
Status in Caribou:
In Progress
Status in caribou package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I'm on Ubuntu 17.10 (fully updated, including Gnome-Shell). Hardware
is a Lenovo X1 Carbon Laptop with Touchscreen. I've reproduced this
issue on both Wayland and XOrg. I've reproduced this issue on the
17.10 live CD (Xorg) and on a fresh 17.10 (Wayland) install in VBox.
Bug: Caribou/Gnome-Shell Wayland support for Caribou does not display
the vast majority of special characters (the ones that you long press
on vowels to get). Nor do the upside down question and exclamation
marks work on it either. Nor do the Euro or Sterling signs work. This
makes it impossible to use when writing in any other languages than
English.
